TUDW Episode 39 – A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)
On this episode I’m joined by Jae Prowse (@FreddyFenech) and we are talking Wes Craven’s A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) Jae is huge fan of classic & cult horror. He is proprietor of It's Happening Again! and contributor at @NOFSpodcast, @VHSRevival and Dread Central.
In Wes Craven's classic slasher film, several Midwestern teenagers fall prey to Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), a disfigured midnight mangler who preys on the teenagers in their dreams -- which, in turn, kills them in reality. After investigating the phenomenon, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suspect that a dark secret kept by her and her friends' parents may be the key to unraveling the mystery, but can Nancy and her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp) solve the puzzle before it's too late?
